The former AC Milan player Alvaro Morata was sent off as Como dropped points again, losing 1-2 against Fiorentina, just days before the game against the Rossoneri.
Out of the next few games, including the one played yesterday, Como has always been described as the most difficult one for Milan. Rightfully so as they were outplayed for most of the reverse fixturem even if they eventually won by 3-1.
However, while Milan are on two consecutive wins, it hasn’t exactly been happy days for Cesc Fabregas and Como lately. After the draw against Atalanta, they had been hoping to get back to winning ways against Fiorentina today, but instead things got worse.
Worst possible preparation
Nicolo Fagioli opened the scoring for Fiorentina in the first half, making the most out of sloppy defending at the back. Early in the second, meanwhile, Moise Kean doubled the lead from the spot with a great strike.
Como managed to pull one back through an own-goal, following a header from Alvaro Morata, but instead of being involved in another goal, the Spaniard was sent off. After going head-to-head with Luca Ranieri, he received his second yellow card and had to leave the pitch.
As such, the striker will miss the game against his former club on Wednesday evening. It remains to be seen if a decline is a fact for Como, or if they will bounce back with a strong performance and a win against Milan.
